Michael Allain

Atlanta, GA - Michael Elmore Allain, seventy years old, of Atlanta, GA, passed away on Wednesday 14 September, 2016 at Emory Hospital. Michael was born on May 4, 1946 in New Orleans, Louisiana to Elmore and Cecilia Allain. He grew up in the Lakeview area of New Orleans and being from a devoutly Catholic family, attended St. Dominic School and Jesuit High School where he excelled in National Debate. After majoring in History as an undergraduate and serving briefly as a supply officer in the US Air Force, he earned his DDS from LSU Dental School. During this time, he also cultivated his artistic skills and was known as a talented portrait artist.

He married Carol Ann Bienert on 27 September 1969 in Metairie, LA and they became parents of two children. The family eventually relocated to Norfolk, VA after Mike was re-commissioned as a Navy Dental Officer. He bravely deployed to the North Atlantic on the USS Nassau and then again to the Persian Gulf on the USS George Washington. He was discharged with full honors as a Commander and retired from Active Duty in 2007.

Mike was a kind, dedicated father and husband, as well as an artist, a musician, a Rotarian, an active member of his church parish, and a member of the Church Choir. He also had a passion for Greek and Roman history and had a loving bond with his canine companions.

He is survived by his wife Carol, his daughter, Lauren, and his son, Michael.

A funeral mass is scheduled for 11:00 AM September 19, 2016 at St. Thomas More Church, 636 West Ponce de Leon Ave, Decatur, GA 30030. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Mike's life.

Psalms 46:1 (C. C.)

September 22, 2016

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

The Lemaitre family has been close to the Allain family for many years sharing in the good times and not so good times that life sends our way. Suzanne and I wish Michael's widow, children, and sisters April and Mary Kay God's comfort in this time of stress. I hope we all celebrate Michael's accomplishments and not dwell on the sadness of this week.
I feel the following speaks of Michael:

Psalm 1
1. Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers.
2. Rather, the law of the Lord is his joy; and on his law he meditates day and night.
3. He is like a tree planted near streams of water, that yields its fruit in season; Its leaves never wither; whatever he does prospers.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mike as I was a classmate of his at LSU. I still enjoy my caricature he did of our Class of 1979. He was such a gentle soul but so talented. He will be missed. God bless him and his family.

I sincerely enjoyed the brief four years I spent with Mike in dental school. He was always available and supportive. I'm certain that every member of our class will be eternally grateful for (as well as "captured" by) his class caricature of us. I regret that we didn't stay in touch more. I'll miss him!
